Five Little Confessions: Food

 This month guys, it's all about my eating habits! 

1.  I love hot dogs.  I feel like this is something girls are not supposed to like.  In fact Adam just brought me one from his work activity last night and even though it wasn't "clean" (hot dogs in white flour buns are not a clean food, it wasn't like dirty or anything, just very processed) I ate 2/3 of it.  Mmmm.

2.  I've been off sugar since May 1st and it's going so great!  Except chocolate chips.  I don't count those.  I eat like ten a day, so not over the top.  Also they're in my banana bread, which otherwise is sugar free.  I don't think it counts.  I just love chocolate.

3.  I made this banana bread four times in the last two weeks.  And I didn't really share with anyone.  When I see ripe bananas at someone's house, I ask if they are going to use them or throw them out.  If the answer is throw out, I snag 'em.  Bananas never have a chance to get very ripe at my house.  

4.  Before I was married I would eat really odd meals.  Like a can of green beans for dinner.

5.  Tonight I made a smoothie with mangos I diced and froze like a year ago.  It tasted good.  Which is lucky because there are still a lot of mangos in the bag.  I don't use them faster because I don't want to use them all up.  It's like I'm trying to save them for something special, but c'mon.  Seriously?  I need to get over it.

  1. Seriously? I can of green beans for dinner?! Ha! My son would love that for his dinner, he LOVES green beans. I hate them, though! I am not sure why either, but I hate them so much I gag! I really need to give up sugar, or at least sweets... I eat so much junk, especially now that I sah, I feel I eat so much worse!!! Bah! So, it is one of my goals to start eating better and soon. When we went to Chicago last summer I died over the hot dogs... the best ever. Oh, I would die for one right now... even though it is breakfast time right now.

    1. Canned green beans with a little butter and salt and like heaven!! Staying at home has been one of the biggest hurdles for losing weight. I have access to too much goodies and less reason to move around. Clean eating has got things moving in the right direction again!

      And hot dog for breakfast??? Just call it sausage.

  2. You can get frozen mangos at Winco for literally less than $2. They are my lifeblood,

    1. This is probably the most important information I've learned in 2014.

  3. Totally understand about the not wanting to use all the mangos because you want to save them. haha. I think I use that logic wayyy to often and then the food goes bad and it's tragic! Also, SO impressed about the no sugar thing. wow. -Han

    1. Yes! With avocados, it breaks my heart. No sugar is easy! If you eat chocolate chips ;)

  4. I love hot dogs too. Don't worry. And I prefer my hot dogs really really burnt. I usually get impatient waiting for them to burn and eat them when they are only slightly burnt.

    1. Oh you would have loved this one I ate last night. Way to burned for my taste. I like 'em crispy on the outside and really juicy on the inside.

    1. Oh yes, we LOVE J-Dawgs. In fact, that's what Adam brought me from his work activity. But it was a little bit over cooked for my liking. With everyone in my house being sick for the last ten days I'm just now thinking about our WWYD. I have a project I can just use in a pinch, but it would be fun to do more.
